In preparation of the Supreme Court hearing Hollingsworth v. Perry (12-144) (Prop 8 Case), we present...
PROP 8: THE MUSICAL
PROP 8: THE MUSICAL
Here are some observations about this video...
1. In case you were wondering who was in this video. Some are recognizable people. Others, not so much, but you've seen them in TV shows.
2. Jesus is Black. Think about it...
3. WWNPHD? He'd want to make lots of money....
Neil Patrick Harris plays a womanizing horn dog on the popular CBS show "How I Met Your Mother." In real life, he is married to David Burtka and they have two children. If you didn't know that, consider your mind blown.
The point that he is making during his VERY entertaining number is that gay marriage is an untapped industry and could serve as an economic boom to whoever decides to takes advantage of it (looking at self).
Back in June 2010, I wrote a piece making the Republican argument for marriage equality based around the Republican Party's ideas of freedom, individual liberty, and entrepreneurial principles. In it I cite this report that the UCLA Law School determined that over $600 million in three years would have been made in marriage related industries had Prop 8 been rejected.
Yes, I am aware of the ethical and moral reasons on why Prop 8 and DOMA should be overturned and the US should become the next country to implement marriage equality, but one can't dismiss the economic reasons too. 278 employers and organizations signed on to the amicus brief urging the high court to Deep Six DOMA. Think Progress comprised a list of these companies. Some are well known as they recognize that equality is good for business....
And business is GOOD!!!
